16 spaces available.

In this class, we'll try out eight creative techniques to help you silence, channel, and conquer emotional and mental
reactions to chronic illnesses or complicated diagnoses. Projects include: Expressive Painting, Abstract Mixed Media, Portrait Making,
Narrative Art, Storyboarding, Inking, Zen Patterning/Rhythm, and Symbolism. These techniques can be used as powerful tools to help you: 1) dump unhelpful emotional debris, 2) optimize health enhancing mindsets, 3) de-stress, calm, distract, and chill-out, 4) use intentionality with guided imagery to optimize positive physiological changes, 5) explore hidden experiences or attitudes that promote your fight toward optimal health, 6)
enhance your self-image and self-definitions, 7) energize self-empowerment, 8) step into the pure enjoyment of creating for the sole joy of creating.

Materials: Participants will receive a copy of one of Dr. Carol Francis’ book “OWN YOUR PEACE: KISS Method of Inner Peaceful Living” and all the tools and supplies needed for all 8 artistic creations. No artistic talent nor creative experiences needed. Friends and families are welcome too so they too can experience how art empowers us to cope, release, and rise above chronic illnesses and pains. Equipment for neurobiofeedback, gentle brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, and simple sensory stimulations will be used in tandem with some creative moments as well. Neuroscience, psychology, and creativity dovetail in this 3-hour hands-on experience. Carol's book “Create Art for Your Inner Peace and Well-Being” will be available at 50% discount for participants.
